buddly-I am sure it is so hard. Its hard on you to be strong for the girls too!!

FoodO-glad you can jump in!!! it gets crazy crazy in here sometimes but hey thats life!!


Ok so I have nothing like buddly going on right now just the fight with myself.
I need a swift kick in the butt!! I am actually eating 4 meals a day...HOW wrong is that. I gained the weight since I have been doing that again! At night after everyone goes to bed I eat a whole nother meal. I am really just sick of being fat and hate being embarrassed to meet new people (which as a youth pastor and local cordinator for the concerts..winterjam..I have to meet new people). I have the worst willpower EVER!!! I have got back on track with the boys school. Its take over a month to get back in the swing after getting the kids.
I always get this great plan to do what I need to and then a big FAIL when it comes to executing it... Every night I plan how I am going to change but I still DONT DO IT....ANY ADVICE (I mean something thats worked for you!)?? I dont want another day or minute to go by where I have regrets! I am way mood, not very patient with the kids, snap at any point, kinda lazy (because it takes sooo much effort to get me and my twin sister up and moving..really I am the weight of 2 people!!)
I JUST WANT IT TO STOP...but how do you do that? I am not a morning person so i am not strong in the morning and its lunch time before I remember what my plan is and by then I have ate sugary cereals or cookies or candy and done nothing....I guess maybe I can put a sign up.
I really want to try doing all natural foods for the next few weeks. I am the type if i stop and give myself a day to jump off the wagon I don't get back on! I just know if I don't eat right and try to exercise then I have no right asking for a gym membership because I probably wouldn't use it...

So I just realized I am the heaviest one here...all of you seemed to lose weight while dealing with depression...so its doable...but whats the matter with me...is there medicine for motivation? LOL

Ok enough rambling catch you guys later!!

Hope you girls had great thanksgivings!!

Hi everyone!
Got some good news today, I went to the doctors and lo and behold if my bad cholesterol is down a little and my good cholesterol is up a little!! And my blood pressure was 110/80.
counseling went alright, I have to go back on the 14th.

I have to get cooking some dinner, I just wanted to pop in and share some good news.

Hope you are all doing good.
Take care,
K

buddly - that is great!! congrats on your low/good bp and your cholesterol counts! and I'm glad the skank is not a happy camper.

momof4 - I don't have any thing helpful to tell you all I know is that for some reason, one day I decided 'this is it', and I had some consecsutive days on plan with eating and working out; and told myself to just keep on keepin on. Not having anything 'bad' in the house surely helps me, because I'm not one to go out and drive to get something 'bad' on a whim.

Thanks vermont...I did notice this morning well afternoonish when picking food I did think about the good options! Did i pick them no...my point is if I cant eat good 90 percent of the time there is no point. cause I will work hard for half the day and in a few hours ruin it and make up for the good eating by over eating....I just know I have to get control!!! I HAVE TO!!!

Really think i am going to just do like the daniel fast and commit to a 7 or 10 day and then see how I feel then...because of it being all natural it will take the first few days of craving sugar before I can feel better...I know I cant have the junk in the house so I have to by kids snacks I dont eat.
Ok well its 4:20 am and I gotta be up at 8:20...YA me!! LOL Its my busy day on Wed to!!!

Good news Buddly... Thanks for sharing.

Hey guess what... hubby got a job offer. But he can't take it... it's in Houston. That's just a bit far for us Canucks. He says he threw his resume around down there when I was there, just for S&G's. It's kind of too bad, they offered him 73k a year.

whoa! is it out of the question for you to relocate? Oh..I guess I forgot about nationality issues too, what would a Canadian have to do to work in the US, just establish residency? I am clueless...

I know... that's an amazing number! The biggest reason we can't is because of my family... I help to care for my disabled parents, I don't think I could leave them. I would also be a bit scared because what if it didn't work out? Then we're stuck in a different country and it would be a lot harder to move home! We actually had this happen to us once but it was a town only 3 hours away. I don't think he would actually go either....

It's not really hard for a Canadian to work in the US, more of a PITA really. The company I work for has Canadian's all over the place, I'm sure I could find out details from any of them. They also offered a 10% moving allowance. I'm a bit perplexed on why exactly they want him for this job... with so many people out of work down there, there has to be someone they could hire that they wouldn't have to pay extra for... ??? You would think anyway.
